Maria Davydova, CEO of PJSC Detsky Mir:
“In the first half of 2022, despite high levels of uncertainty in the retail industry and the wider Russian economy, the Group delivered strong operational results with GMV rose 9.7% to RUB 89.3 billion, while GMV for Q2 2022 grew 11.6% and reached RUB 46.7 billion. We also expect an increase in operating profit (adjusted EBITDA) for the period.
Responding to the challenges of the first half of 2022, we optimized our logistic routes while continuing to work on improving related processes. We also maintain our focus on selecting and adding products from new suppliers to our product mix to mitigate the potential risk of certain brands leaving the Russian market. At the same time, the Company implements strategic initiatives to increase the share of private labels and direct imports in total sales in Russia, which reached 56.7% in the second quarter of 2022 (up 8.8 p.p. year-on-year).
We continue implementing our key digital projects and promoting our online channels. For example, the marketplace’s contribution to the Group’s GMV rose to a record high of 11.0% of the Group’s total online sales in Russia (up 6.1 p.p. year-on-year). Total marketplace sales in Russia soared 140.5% year-on-year to RUB 1.4 billion. Detsky Mir’s online assortment has increased to 902,000 unique SKUs over the year.
We have noted a moderate overall recovery in consumer confidence in the second quarter of 2022, yet will continue to factor in the ongoing high uncertainty around key macro indicators in the second half of 2022 when making both operational and investment decisions.”
